00:00I would describe my style as dominatrix Barbie.
00:03I love black, but I also love fun, girly colors, and let me show you what I have.
00:13So one of my first looks up is the Juicy track suit.
00:17And that's right, Juicy is making a comeback, and I'm so excited that they have.
00:21We remember the original velour track suits that were really popular in the early 2000s.
00:26Now they're making a comeback, and this was so much fun to wear.
00:29I paired this with a Louis Vuitton speedy that is vintage.
00:32I believe it was 2007, and this was a really, really fun outfit, and I love to wear this.
00:37All right, up next, I have one of my wedding dresses.
00:44This is a custom-made Galia La Havre.
00:47So the vibe that I was going for for this dress was I wanted to do something
00:52that was very villain character vibes.
00:56So what I did is I created this really tight silhouette,
01:00and the top where the bust is, I created a point.
01:03I wanted to give this Maleficent illusion.
01:07Also, the dress is very fitted, and on the sides, you'll see that it has sheer paneling
01:14that goes down the front and also down the butt, because why not, you know?
01:20So this was my dress, and I loved it.
01:22The train, we did ostrich feathers in the front, which then gathered in the back,
01:28so I kind of just loaded across the dance floor.
01:31For me, my love of fashion started with my mom.
01:35My mom had a sewing machine, and she taught me how to sew
01:39and make patterns and sketch designs.
01:43So since I was a little girl, it's what I love to do.
01:46So both of my dresses, I sketched them both out,
01:48and it's just really cool to see them come to life.
01:51So yeah, kind of an artiste, like a hoey artiste, I guess you would say.
01:57All right, so next up, I call this my carry in Paris.
02:01This is my Balenciaga gown that I wore when I was in Paris in Italy
02:06with my husband over the summer, and this was a very carry moment for me.
02:12Every time I see the dress, it's just an instant reminder of where I was when I was wearing it,
02:16and this is a really special memory to me.
02:18So this is just a beautiful fitted velvet dress,
02:22and I did a red lip and curly hair with this, and it was stunning.
02:28It was timeless.
02:29I'll probably have this piece forever, but I love it, and I just want to share it with you.
02:33All right, next up, we have this very, very heavy jacket
02:38that could double as weights, honestly.
02:41Oh my gosh.
02:43All right, so this is giving very Cruella.
02:46Again, I just killed my husband vibes.
02:49Are you guys noticing a theme?
02:50I don't know why, that's so weird.
02:53Anyway, so this beautiful faux fur Balenciaga jacket, I just love.
02:58I did a really fun, I remember it was before I cut my hair short,
03:02and I did a really cute Marilyn Monroe wig, and I think a red lip with this,
03:07and I remember sitting in my house and just feeling so beautiful and so rich,
03:12even though at the time it probably was not, but that's okay.
03:16I spent it all on the jacket, and it was well worth it.
03:18This is just a fun jacket that I'll definitely have forever.
03:24I mean, if this doesn't say Disney villain, I don't know what does.
03:32So fun.
03:33So next up, I have this really cool dress that I wore to an award show,
03:38and this is a really fun Balenciaga fitted racer dress.
03:43And the cool thing about this is all the checkereds are actually different sizes,
03:46and it gives this beautiful optical illusion when you wear it on your body.
03:49So as you can see the bust, it gives this illusion up here.
03:53It's more fitted at the waist, and then the checkerboard gets bigger at the bottom.
03:58So it just really gives this beautiful fitted illusion on your body.
04:02And then I paired it with this Balenciaga magazine clutch, which was really, really cool.
04:10I loved.
04:10And then I remember for this look, I did my hair up in a bun with green elements in my hair.
04:17So this is a really fun look that we did, and I liked matching the purse to the hair,
04:21and that was the first time that I really did that, and it was really fun.
04:24So up next, I have, I call this the classic Barbie dress.
04:30This is like you are going to meet your husband or your girlfriends or your fiance's parents.
04:37This is like, I am a good girl, and my credit score is 850.
04:42This is exactly what I was going for when I bought this dress.
04:46So it's just a beautiful knitted dress, but it just,
04:50it gives me Charlotte from Sex and the City.
04:52Just good girl in the best way possible.
04:55I brought this dress on vacation when I was with my husband and his parents.
04:59I was like, yes, I'm a good girl.
05:02Not, but I just, I really, really love this dress, and I think it goes with everything.
05:08You can put a blazer over it and dress it up.
05:10You can dress it down.
05:11You can wear it with tennis shoes.
05:13For me, this is just the staple good girl dress, and this is exactly why I loved it.
05:19I love the ribbing, and I love that it's super stretchy.
05:22It just can fit anyone.
05:24It looks good on anyone's body, and it's also very covered up,
05:28but still shows your figure, so I love that.
05:31So next up, we have a tank top that someone made for me,
05:37and nothing says humble like a tank top with your own catchphrase on it.
05:42So this is super cute.
05:43Just as plain and simple, you can't afford my lawyers.
05:46I did an interview with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy,
05:52and this is just what came out of my mouth,
05:54and we made it into a little tank top that I thought was adorable,
05:58and you can tie it up in the front, and it's really cute,
06:01and I just like fun elements in my wardrobe like this.
06:04We get stuck in this world where we think everything needs to be designer
06:08and everything needs to be perfect,
06:10but it's fun to break it up with little pieces like this
06:13and t-shirts from fun, funky little vintage shops or Etsy shops.
06:18So this is kind of what I did,
06:20and if I were to wear this, I would pair it with stretchy leggings
06:25or leather pants and boots or even sneakers.
06:30This is really cute. I like to break it up.
06:31I also have a few more tank tops that say,
06:36my budget is love, burgers and Botox,
06:40a lot of fun little slogans and catchphrases along the way
06:45that I've procured through the years.
06:48All right, so I would say that there's an overall villain theme
06:53in everything that I do,
06:55and my sister is the one who actually started it.
06:57My sister is the first person in our family
06:59to get married in a black wedding dress,
07:01and she really inspired me,
07:04and I wanted to do that as well.
07:06When I started being on camera, I just noticed this,
07:10I don't know, this overall theme that started blossoming,
07:13and I just wanted to be black and feel powerful.
07:18After that, I kind of had a personality.
07:20When I would put these clothes on,
07:22I would feel like I could take over the world.
07:25I could do anything.
07:27I could be anyone, and I loved that.
07:30So I would say that's where my character really started evolving,
07:34and there's two sides to me.
07:35You know, I'm very, very girly,
07:37but also like, I'll cut you,
07:40and I really like that for me,
07:42but I feel like that's what clothes
07:45and that's what wardrobe can do.
07:46It gives you the confidence to be who you already are inside,
07:50and I love that.
07:51I'm able to put clothes on and feel like anyone
07:55and be anyone, and it really changes my confidence,
07:58and I know it's so silly.
07:59People are like, they're just clothes,
08:01but it's really a construct,
08:04and it's something that I've worked on over the years,
08:07and for me, it's clothes.
08:09I'm able to feel a certain way and act like that bitch
08:13when I don't feel like that bitch,
08:15and for me, clothes are just everything.
08:18All right, I forgot.
08:19Before we leave, you can't go anywhere just yet.
08:21I have to talk about what I'm wearing.
08:23So I have this beautiful Valentino caftan
08:26that really just floats across the floor,
08:29and I would wear this in the kitchen, in my house,
08:34to the grocery store, really,
08:36to the beach, anywhere, honestly,
08:38but I just, I think it's so beautiful,
08:40and it just floats across the floor.
08:42All right, well, thank you so much for watching.
08:44I hope you loved my clothes and my pieces
08:47and the stories that I told along with them,
08:49and until next time, see you later.
